In 1988, the Yakima Valley was rocked by the brutal home-invasion murder of Mike and Dorothy Nickoloff—an elderly couple killed for two TVs and a pack of cigarettes. The killers were only 17.

We also look at the parallels with the Menendez brothers and other notorious juvenile cases like Barry Massey and the Skelton family murders. Can a person truly be rehabilitated after such a heinous act?
